Answer:

Portia and Other Female Characters

Explanation:

Portia is the main female protagonist of the play The Merchant of Venice. She is beautiful like Desdemona and Miranda; gracious and resilient like Cordelia and intelligent and quick-witted like Rosalind. Unlike Juliet, Portia is very tactful in choosing her husband.

Like Viola, Portia disguises herself as a man. She is even smart in assuming the role of an advocate's apprentice and helped save Antonio's life in court.

in argument and intelligence, Portia is better than Regan when she speaks in court. She discovers a technicality in the bond, thereby outwitting the Jewish moneylender Shylock and saving Antonio's life from the pound of flesh demanded.

How did American soldiers react to the liberation of concentration camps?
Korvikt [17]

Answer with Explanation:

The American soldiers were<em> astonished</em> to see the emaciated condition of the people in the Nazi concentration camps. They couldn't imagine how the people survived in an area overwhelmed by <em>diseases, corpses and lack of food and water.</em> Thousands of people were kept in this kind of brutal condition. <u>They couldn't contain the Nazi atrocities</u> and immediately started helping the victims by aiding them with food, clothing and shelter. The horrors they encountered were too overpowering and out-of-this-world. They were so enraged that they executed the German guards after the liberation.

What mood or emotion does the author create as the story progresses? How does he do that? Use specific evidence from the text to
trasher [3.6K]

Hello. You did not say what text this question refers to. That way it is impossible to answer your question. However, I will help you by showing you what "mood" is within a narrative and showing you how to recognize a change in mood within the story.

When you read a story, you realize that the narrative conveys a kind of emotion, through the narration of the facts and through the actions of the characters. The emotion being conveyed is the mood of the narrative. Often, this mood changes during reading, this change can be gradual or drastic, in addition to showing similar or completely different emotions.

Books with sad and melancholy stories convey an equally sad emotion. That way we can say that the narrative has a sad mood. However, over time the characters begin to change and begin to win their battles and be happy. In this way, the narrative begins to change to a happy mood, for example.
